Answer:

Average rate of return =  14 %

Explanation:

Average rate of return = Annual average return/ Average Investment

Average investment =( Initial investment + scrap value)/2

Average investment = 138,000 + 12,000/2 =75,000

Average annual return = Savings in cost - energy cost - depreciation

Depreciation = (initial cost - scrap value)/2= (138,000 - 12,000)/2= 12600

Average annual return = 29,780-6,680-12600= 10500

Average rate of return = 10,500/75,000 × 100= 14 %

Average rate of return =  14 %

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold.  - <u>Trading Debt Securities</u>

Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.

(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock.  - <u>None of the Above</u>

This is an Equity Investment.

(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year.  - <u>Trading Debt Securities</u>

Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.

(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold.  - <u>Available-for-sale debt securities</u>

Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.

(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time.  -<u> None of the above.</u>

This is an Equity investment as well.

(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - <u>Held-to-maturity debt securities.</u>

Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand for icecream is -0.75, that means that is inelastic.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the porcentage of the change in the demand when there is a change in the price. If the change in porcentage of the demand is less than the pocentage of change in the price we talk about inelastic demand. An increase in the price of inelastic goods will result in bigger revenues, as the porcentage in the drop of sales is less than the porcentage   of increase in the price.

The formula is: % in change demand/% in change of price

-3%/4= -0.75

The minus symbol indicates that when the price rises the demand decrease.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Cash proceeds is $37,702,607.23  

First premium amortization $214,869.64

Second premium amortization is $225,613.12

First year interest expense is $ 3,759,517.24  

Explanation:

The amount of cash proceeds from the bond issue is the pv of the bond using the pv formula,=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is 10% yield to maturity divided 2 since interest is semi-annual i.e 5%

nper is 5 years multiplied by 2=10

pmt is the semi-annual interest payable by the bond i.e $35,000,000*12%*6/12=$2,100,000

fv is the face value of the bond at $35,000,000

=-pv(5%,10,2100000,35000000)

pv=$37,702,607.23  

The amount of premium to be amortized in first semi-annual interest payment:

Interest expense=$$37,702,607.23*10%/2=$1,885,130.36  

coupon interest=$35,000,000*12%/2=$2,100,000

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36  

premium amortized=$214,869.64  

The amount of premium to be amortized in second semi-annual interest payment:

interest expense=($37,702,607.23+$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36)*10%/2

                           =$1,874,386.88  

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,874,386.88

premium amortized=$225613.12

Bond expense for the first payment= 37,702,607.23*10%/2  

                                                           =$1,885,130.362

Bond expense for the first payment=  37,487,737.59  *10%/2  

                                                           =$ 1,874,386.88  

First year bond interest expense= 1,874,386.88+1,885,130.362  

                                                      =$ 3,759,517.24
